Construction Work Is Meaningful Work

Are you looking for a beautiful transformation that will add value to your home? A window replacement project can do just that! You just need the right fit! Choosing the right window company to install new windows in your home will ensure numerous benefits. When replacing the windows in the house, there are a number of things you need to consider:

Window Style

Window styles have come a long way in the last few decades. The old days of wood windows with small panes and single-pane glass are gone, replaced by modern styles that take advantage of technological innovations.

If you're thinking about replacing your windows, take a look at these five window styles to help you decide what kind of window is right for you:

• Casement Windows: Casement windows swing open from the side and pivot on hinges. They are typically used as exterior windows because they provide ventilation as well as light. Casement windows can also be used for interior rooms where ventilation isn't needed as much, but light is.
• Double-Hung Windows:  Double-hung windows offer excellent ventilation due to their double sashes. In addition, they are easy to clean from the inside without having to remove them from their frames. They tend to be more expensive than other single-hung windows due to their extra features.
• Awning Windows: Awning windows have one sash that opens outward like a door while another sash opens inward toward the room like a sliding door would. This design is common in kitchens because it provides easy access.

These are some of the basic options for window styles. There are also options like picture windows and leaded glass that you might want to use in certain areas of your home. 

Frame Material

The window frames are the most visible part of your windows, so they should look good no matter what style you choose.

• Wood Frames: Wood is a classic material, and it's easy to paint or stain. It's also a little more expensive than vinyl, aluminum, and fiberglass.
• Vinyl Frames: Vinyl requires little upkeep, which makes it a great low-maintenance option for any window replacement project. It's also inexpensive and comes in many colors and finishes.
• Aluminum Frames: Aluminum frames are durable metal windows. They're available in different colors to match your home's design.
• Fiberglass Frames: Fiberglass frames are similar to wood but don't require any maintenance or painting because they're made from fibers instead of wood.

These are some of the most common materials used to build modern window frames.
